Here are the things accomplished since Fritag:

• KSCR in Cafe ‘84. First we tried AM, then streaming, then AM again (with a really huge homemade loop antenna—perhaps the only practical application of something I learned in school so far—thanks Bickers). Then streaming again, then again this morning at T minus 15 minutes, because I had to reconfigure the server and terminal services wasn’t working.
• Studio A Upgrades. Re-calibrated gain levels for Aux channel. Wired up dedicated studio computer channel for playing MP3s, calibrated that. Slight tweak to phone amp. Wired Aux cord so that it can’t be lost under console.
• The Studio A Cleaning Project. Studio vacuumed, de-trashed, new template for board, new computer monitor, cleaned up computer, de-virused computer, cleaned console extensively, razor blades, you name it.
• Music Database Server. Installed, configured, and stabilized the following on a live production server without a single restart: Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, FTP, Terminal Services. It’s really cool.
• Music Database Software. Fixed lots of bugs, started second phase of development (playlisting, logging, charting).
• Added about 50 CDs to Music Database.
• Cleaned, patched all KSCR computers. Two had Blaster, were disabled by ISD. Also got ISD to switch computers from some Annenberg account to our own. (Computers were old donations from Annenberg, apparently. It was funny, because the ISD guy, knowing I was from KSCR, asked me where I got the computers in a very accusing tone. We figured it out eventually.)
• Did a 4.5 hour airshift today, filling in for a bunch of no-shows. Since it was our first day in Cafe ‘84, we had to really shine.
• Sent pretty HTML email to KSCR announce list. If you want a copy, let me know, I’ll forward one along.

I wrote that all down because it feels like I have a huge mountain of work to do and I feel behind. But the truth is, I’ve been working my ass off, and I’ve completed a ton of projects. Aside from the meeting and my show tomorrow, I need to take a short break from KSCR to concentrate on WiFiLand, marimba, and a ton of random errands.

Oh, which reminds me. My show!

You had better make with the listening. If you know of some cool MP3s online for me to check out, let me know.

Tomorrow I get my drumset! #
